DnD characters: 19, 21 and 23

19. most likely to get married and have childrenTeeki>Vesxlit>Phailyn

Teeki’s pretty into the idea of a family. She may not necessarily get her ideal version of it–she’s after the whole nice-house-picket-fence-two-dogs type deal. But I could just as easily see her caring for kids on the road, taking a page from Primrose’s book and having a baby in a papoose on her back.

Ves is probably not likely to raise her own children, but she is interested in a long-term partnership somewhere down the line. And who knows, maybe she’s more inspired by her parents than she’d want to admit. Phai knows he wouldn’t make a good husband or father. He expects to die for his mission, so whether he wants a family seems to him a question only pondered to torment himself.

21. most to least sexualTeeki>Phailyn>Vesxlit

Teeki’s the only D&D character I’m playing right now who isn’t asexual, so that probably puts her in the lead by default. She’s one thirsty gobbo anyway.

Phai’s fairly sex-positive ace, he’s open to advances though I don’t really get the sense of him having sexual attraction. For him it’s something to relieve stress, and if he has a romantic interest in someone he does view it in a very intimate light.

Ves’s whole race of weird bug people is functionally asexual, and she herself is kind of repulsed by the concept of sex. Most human physical intimacy is lowkey gross to her, with the exception of the most casual stuff like hugs and hand-holding.

23. best to worst chefPhailyn>Teeki>Vesxlit

Phai is a decent cook. He doesn’t especially enjoy cooking, but he can make something warm, filling, and very nutritious without much of a fuss. He comes from a cold climate so a lot of his recipes are informed by that, and he’s used to ad-libbing and working with foraged ingredients. Teeki isn’t used to most ingredients–she hadn’t even heard of cheese before the campaign–but if you give her a piece of meat or a fish she can cook it to tender deliciousness.

Ves has no idea how to cook a damn thing. I think the only thing she’s ever cooked in her life was maybe a salad. Once.

4, 11, 14! :D

4. biggest to smallest feetPhailyn>Vesxlit>Teeki 

This is a pretty easy one cuz my D&D characters are all pretty different in overall size, nevermind foot size. Ves is taller than Phai but she’s a bug with very thin limbs, so her feet are probably not as big as his.

11. most to least optimisticTeeki>Vesxlit>Phailyn

Most of my characters aren’t really optimists by nature. Ves and Teeki are kind of even, but I think that the nature of their optimism is very different. Ves tries very hard to see the good in people, where Teeki doesn’t generally. Meanwhile, Teeki generally thinks that if she fights tooth and nail and sticks to the people she does trust like glue, everything else in life will probably fall into place. Ves sort of thinks the world is falling to pieces around her.

Don’t even get me started on Phai. Lordy.

14. most to least fashionableVesxlit>Phailyn>Teeki

Ves would have wanted to be a tailor if she hadn’t had her destiny spelled out for her at birth. She loves the art of fashion. Phailyn has good aesthetic sense, he just doesn’t put the effort in often. His clothing tends to look basic but not unpleasant in design.

Teeki’s… kind of a wild card. She certainly likes the idea of fashion. But I think her idea of it tends to be “wear as many nice expensive things as you can at once” when she dresses up. She doesn’t color-coordinate, though she tends toward green and gold things so there sometimes appears to be a theme.Most often though she’s just seen in an old cloak and some reliable if dirty travel clothes.

Phai: 10, 12, 13, 19, 23, 25

their fashion sense

What Phai typically wears and what he considers fashionable are very different. He particularly likes the look of clothing that’s meant to be loose and flowing–he would describe it as moving with a life of its own. Pieces with a unique silhouette also appeal to him. He really likes metallic colors.

their romantic life

Phai has fallen into a bit of a typical trap when it comes to romance–that being that his reaction to heartbreak was to start looking with fervor for something to fill the void. His relationships didn’t last long, and he has some shame in the fact that he doesn’t feel a strong attachment to most of them. His attraction strikes fast and fades equally so.

He tends toward falling for people for their idealism or their creative spirit, which is pretty fucking cute tho

their embarrassing memory from years ago

Most of these come in the form of embarrassment in retrospect–he used to be a kid who talked like he knew everything about the world, and Phai now realizes a lot of the things he said and did were extremely foolish. 

I wouldn’t call him vain about his hair, but he did learn from experience not to cut it himself, and he was very sore about that at the time.

their reaction to betrayal

There’s really one common thread no matter who you are, and it’s a grudge. If you stab Phai in the back he’ll keep that shit in his heart until he feels justice has been served.

how they act when they’re sick

As a kid he was pretty prone to illness, and he would spend days barely moving from bed. He counts himself lucky to have had people to lean on during those times. When he hit adolescence he started trying to shake it off more and take care of himself, but he still would shut himself off in his home if he was able.

Now that he has paladin non-magical disease immunity he responds to illness with a Detect Magic and a heavy dose of wariness as he seeks out the source.

why you enjoy them

He’s such a little shit. He’s That Angsty Anime Boy. Just the worst. He takes my heartstrings and just plays guitar solos on them all the goddamn time. And there’s always so much to think about both about him and as him.

I wish RPing him weren’t so goddamn exhausting, but hey, he’s got an exhausting life, so maybe I’m doing something right if I’m feeling that.
